Tires that will fit the RYKER

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

You were mostly right though and I think the big issue is that its the front tires that are giving people headaches for finding a match.

I think what we'll need to see happen is some aftermarket company comes up with a way to modify the front fenders on the Ryker to allow a slightly wider tire.

Concerning " fender tire clearance " .... in the past ( before I made some discoveries ) I put some really wide tires on my RT ( 185/55-15 ) ... the problem wasn't fitting the tire into the fender, it was clearance between the the sidewall of the tire and the fender Brackets. .... which I fixed with washers for spacing.......

Yeah, I wish it would be that easy but the fenders on the Ryker wrap down over the tire on both sides slightly...not much, but enough to prevent a slightly wider tire to fit.
I'm pretty sure as more of these Rykers come to the end of their tire life (they are all new vehicles still), some enterprising companies will start looking into bolt-on fender options that allow wider tires.
Maybe I can take a sawzall to my fenders!

Certainly not opposed to modifications, but after going through water running across the road a couple times and no splash on bike or boots or Wranglers, I think I will continue with factory size front tires and factory fenders.

Hopefully there will be options to the Kendas in the future...although the rally Kenda looks of interest.
